The world's greatest critics, Statler and Waldorf of the Muppets -- and of the new movie Muppets Most Wanted (opening March 21st) -- offer their inimitable reviews of the nine Oscar "Best Picture" nominees.

American Hustle

STATLER: Great movie! Great cast!

WALDORF: And a great decade -- the 1970s.

S: Yeah, that movie took me back to when we were young.

W: We weren't young in the 1970s!

S: Oh darn, I must've been watching Jurassic Park again.

Philomena

S: A woman goes looking for the child she gave away at birth. I have only one word to say.

W: What's that?

S: Mama!

Captain Phillips

W: Tom Hanks is incredible in this true story of bravery on the high seas.

S: Not only does he survive an attack by pirates, but he does it without taking Dramamine.

W: You sure this is a true story?

12 Years a Slave

S: A powerful motion picture.

W: Reminds me of our years with the Muppets.

Nebraska

W: An old guy played by Bruce Dern thinks he's won millions and heads cross country in search of his reward.

S: Heck, I'd leave here for a buck fifty.

W: Bruce Dern is great as an old guy.

S: Old? I've got socks older than him!

W: Yeah, and you might try washing 'em once in a while.

Her

S: A guy falls in love with his phone's operating system. Unbelievable!

W: Can you keep it down? I'm trying to have a quiet moment with my cell phone. Now where was I? Oh yes: I love it when you ring and vibrate.

S: Help!

The Wolf of Wall Street

S: I've never seen anything like this movie. It was wild, rude, salacious, vulgar and totally indecent.

W: You hated it?

S: You kidding? I can't wait to see it again.

Dallas Buyers Club

W: Matthew McConaughey is incredible in this movie.

S: I haven't seen this one yet. Do the Cowboys win?

W: It's not a western.

S: I know that. I was talking about whether the Dallas Cowboys football team won.
